A David Laskin Military History of Immigrant Soldiers in World War I

When the United States entered World War I in 1917, over one-fifth of the American Expeditionary Forces were foreign-born immigrants who had recently arrived at Ellis Island. Journalist David Laskin follows the true stories of twelve young men from Italy, Ireland, Poland, Russia, and Scandinavia who left their homelands seeking the American dream, only to find themselves drafted into combat in the trenches of the Western Front.

From the bloody battlefields of the Meuse-Argonne to the harrowing influenza epidemic, Laskin traces how fighting for their adopted country earned these unsung heroes their American citizenship through fire and sacrifice.

Why You’ll Love This Book

David Laskin pairs thorough archival research with deeply human storytelling and military tradecraft. An inspiring military and social history for readers interested in World War I, Ellis Island, and the American immigrant experience.
